Creating Custom Pergolas

While Realtime Landscaping Architect, Pro, and Plus include a wide variety of pre-built pergolas, you can also create your own custom pergolas of practically any shape and size. Our latest landscape design software includes a complete suite of modeling tools, including 3D boards which can be used to assemble virtually any wooden or vinyl structure. You can use an existing pergola as a starting point, or create a new one from scratch. When you're finished, you can save your creation to your library of custom models and use it in any of your landscaping projects.

To build a pergola, use the Part tool and select the desired boards. You can also create custom boards and other shapes using the Extrusion tool. These can be easily moved, rotated, and lifted into place, much as if you were designing with actual physical objects. You can choose from a wide variety of colors and materials including wood, vinyl, and more.
